The Thoreau Hawks’ Track and Field team had an early bus departure of 5:15 am for the Jemez Valley Invite. Even after competing at a track meet at Round Valley the day before, Max was the fearless type of competitor who was willing to step up and replace a relay athlete who did not make the bus. Moreover, this wasn’t any type of relay; it was the 4 x 800 and Max had never raced that far ever before. He stepped up and helped the team win the championship in the 4 x 800!
